The default is 3 (it's listed under the settings for the contexts in the Internals Reference; see for example the entry for VaticanaStaff), which means 3 half-staff-spaces from the centre line, i.e., the fourth space on a standard stave. Depending on how many legered notes you've got, setting neutral-position to some high value such as 10 should ensure all custodes stay upright. > If the > internals documentation would document the defaults for all numbers, it > would save people like me who only try to tweak such things once or > twice a year a lot of time. This has been discussed several times, but it remains a thorny problem due to the way most properties are read.
